FRED BAKER (BELGIUM)
Born and bred in the north of Belgium, Producer/DJ Fr�d�ric De Backer has been developing his original, melodic and soulful music since he was just a teenager. Embracing a musical, less is more ethos to all of his studio work, Frederic�s motivation in the studio or behind the deck has been to always add a new wrinkle to dance music's vibrant fabric. Years after years and record after record, Fr�d�ric has quickly became a major producer and DJ in Belgium, France and throughout the world.
It all started for Fr�d�ric De Backer in a big way when he produced in 1996, the Ibiza classic balearic trance anthem, Y-TRAXX �Mystery Land�. The track was play listed heavily by Paul Oakenfold among many others during the summer of 1996 in Clubs such as Pacha, Space & Cream. The result, it was licensed on Pete Tong�s own FFRR Records and has featured on more than 15 major compilations the same year including Cream, Clubbers Guide to Ibiza, Global Underground and last but not least was the anthem of the �Kevin and Perry Go Large� motion picture. In 2002, Virgin re released �Mystery Land� with a vocal mix.
Since then Fr�d�ric has released hundreds of tracks under over 70 alias and group names including Groovezone, The Effect, Active Sight (with M.I.K.E) Global Trance Mission, Out of the Past, Water Planet & Mr Sam (with Samuel Parquet) on labels such as Tiesto�s Black Hole Recordings (In Trance We Trust, Magik Muzik), Armin van Buuren�s Armada Recordings (A State Of Trance, Captivating Sounds), Paul van Dyk�s Vandit Records, Positiva, ID&T, Virgin Records UK, Monster Tunes and many more including his own Baker Street label.
Fred Baker has remixed many of dance music biggest names including Tiesto, Blank & Jones, Age of Love & Alex Morph; and his tracks receive strong play list support from every major DJ from Paul Oakenfold, Tiesto, & Ferry Corsten to Paul van Dyk, Armin van Buuren, Pete Tong, Seb Fontaine and many more. In 2006 Fr�d�ric�s anthem �Forever Friends� was released as the official 2006 theme for the worlds leading dance event �Sensation White�.
As a DJ, Fred has played his explosive and energetic signature Uplifting and Tech Trance sound all over Europe, UK, USA, Canada, Brazil Australia and Asia at parties such as Sensation White, The Gallery @ Turnmills, Dance Valley, Passion, Gatecrasher, Godskitchen, Eden � Ibiza and Slinky to name just a few.
Whether he is producing an original track or remixing someone else's production, Fr�d�ric De Backer has an instinctive feel for what is fun, and what the dance floor will respond to. It's that love for the music and for trance music in particular that makes his productions work and keeps the faithful returning to the floor.
Possessing a firm knowledge of the past and a desire to make an impact on the future, it's an exciting time for Fr�d�ric De Backer.
It's all about the future for this man and his music, and it's just the beginning�

DANJO & STYLES (THE NETHERLANDS)
Every trance-addict must have had at least three moments in his life, where he got in touch with the exhilarating sounds of Danjo. The Dutch born Danjo Raijer, created mass hysteria on dance floors worldwide together with his companion Rob Styles, with their anthems �Everlast�, �Duende� and �What Lies Ahead�. The last track has a quite prophetical title, as Danjo & Styles decided to take a break from their successful collaboration; but that does not mean that the ambitions of Danjo have stopped� Au contraire, as the French would say: Danjo is now focussing on a solo-career and ready to rock the world on his own!
His productions were initially noticed by Armin van Buuren, who signed Danjo (& Styles) to his major Armada-imprint in 2003. Their profile continued to skyrocket, when they launched their alter-ego Primer. Their second release for this project �Everlast� was an instant classic that is still play listed by artists all over the world and is a guaranteed hands-in-the-air hit on the dance floor.
The dynamic DJ / producers started to receive a plethora of enquiries for remix projects; resulting in a wide range of well-known productions like Ti�sto�s �Adagio For Strings� remix, Jones & Stephenson�s all-time classic �The First Rebirth� and Chakra�s massive �Love Shines Through�. The two friends started travelling all over the world, to show their unique mixing skills, blended with their energetic performance. It resulted in a wide variety of bookings, and a lot of stamps in their passports: from Malaysia to Spain and the United Kingdom to Switzerland, the Dutchmen have been like everywhere and their tracks have been selected for more than 80 different compilation-albums!
Nowadays Danjo�s main focus is on his solo career. �Danjo - As The Tables Turn� will be released at the highly acclaimed Be Yourself Music and besides this work as a solo artist, Danjo is spending a lot of time in the studio with other artists leading to some interesting collaborations. The results of these sessions will soon be released on various high profile labels. DJ-wise, his view on music can be heard during his monthly radio show �Playground�, which is broadcasted on 10 radio stations worldwide and of course the aged twenty-eight producer will keep on hammering his favourite tracks on parties all over the world with upcoming bookings in New Zealand, Hungary and Canada.
It should be quite clear that there is another Dutch star ready to rock the stages. Supported by all major artists in the scene, Danjo is certainly one to watch for in 2008. And what lies ahead, is for him to show the world�
